Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The upcoming vampire movie Abigail found a comedic approach to the vampire mythology, according to its star. The movie releases on April 19 and is directed by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, who helmed 2022's Scream and its sequel. It follows a group of kidnappers who capture the daughter of a powerful underworld figure and demand $50 million for her release, unaware the young girl is actually a vampire.
I think my favorite part about this movie is that it's a movie where, like, in our world, vampires don't exist. So all of a sudden, you guys go to a party, and like you see a vampire. And you're like, everything that I know about this earth now is challenged, because now there's a vampire. And so they're dealing with that's part of the comedy. And I think that that's so genius.
